MIT Researcher’s New Warning: At Today’s Rate, Half of All U.S. Children Will Be Autistic by 2025

Research scientist Stephanie Seneff of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a widely published author
on topics ranging from Azlheimer’s Disease to autism and cardiovascular
disease, raised plenty of eyebrows recently with a bold proclamation on
autism at a special panel in Massachusetts about genetically modified
organisms and other topics.

“At today’s rate, by 2025, one in two
children will be autistic,” Seneff said last Thursday in Groton, MA at
an event sponsored by the holistic-focused Groton Wellness organization.

Seneff presented slides showing a
remarkably consistent correlation between the rising use of Roundup
(with its active ingredient glyphosate) on crops and the rising rates of
autism; while it doesn’t show a direct correlation it does give
researchers plenty to think about, especially considering Seneff’s
research into the side effects of autism that mimic glyphosate toxicity
and deficiencies.

The slide notes that the heaviest use
of Roundup, Monsanto’s flagship weedkiller, began in 1990 and continued
to rise since. Meanwhile, the number of kids with autism has gone
from 1 in 5,000 in 1975 to 1 in 68 today, a puzzling and frustrating
stat that shows no signs of slowing down and one that correlates
strongly with the rise in glyphosate use.

Of course, autism is a complex problem with many potential causes,
but the numbers are particularly of note considering how close the
correlation is, and Seneff’s credentials.
